It isn’t arrogance. It’s true. There is no one else qualified to do what has to be done in West Africa. Other governments, health organizations, and charities have been begging us for help: personnel, equipment, supplies, and money.
It would be great if we could send volunteers. The problem is getting those volunteers, equipment, and supplies to West Africa and then distributing and configuring all of it. The U.S. Army is uniquely qualified for such a task.
That said, I don’t want to send our troops. I don’t like it one bit. I will be in constant prayer for God’s protection upon them.
“The U.S. Army is uniquely qualified for such a task.”
I would believe that if...it were a different place and time in the world when there was true military leadership.
